☕ Tailside now speaks four more languages! This one went less into new content and more into opening the café doors wider: German, French, Russian and Simplified Chinese have joined the game, Steam Deck and controller play got a proper pass from top to bottom, build mode got much smarter about what you are grabbing and where things end up sitting, and a big pile of your reported bugs fixed up.

Quickly before we continue on to the devlog, I'm proud to announce my new little project - "No Brakes Club": A retro multiplayer platformer for up to 10 players per round. It's now open to follow, wishlist and register to playtest for everyone and it would mean the world to me to continue getting support there just as I got all the love for Tailside! Check it out:
If your reported issue or suggestion isn’t listed below, don’t worry, it’s already in our to do list, and we’re working through everything as quickly as possible.

New languages added: German, French, Russian and Simplified Chinese
Aero now has new decor items for trading!
Switching language mid game now re-applies instantly across every panel, no restart needed
Notification pop up sounds can now be toggled or adjusted in settings, since they got a bit much sometimes

Upgrades now show in red or green exactly what you are still missing
Plushie collection counter added so you can see how many you have unlocked out of the total
Latte art cursor speed with a gamepad now depends on how far you push the joystick instead of one fixed speed, and the same was added to the build mode cursor on top of the existing fast/slow toggle
Build mode grabbing reworked: the grabbable area is now the item sprite itself, and when items overlap you pick up the one on top (highly requested improvement)
Little main menu visual update because the dev felt like it! (Can't resist seeing little creatures floating around)
Trading availability from all NPCs lowered to a 20% chance and the trade window shortened, so trades feel a bit more special
Empty cups are now visible behind decor
Fixes:
Fixed Japanese glyphs appearing blurry after the recent missing character fix
Fixed NPC dialogue in the brewing panel not being translated

Fixed tooltips showing image file names instead of proper item names, including all of the galaxy themed carpets
Fixed items not showing their image in trades
Fixed text overflowing its box in some translated strings
Fixed pastry text not turning green when on sale
Fixed the pastry description tooltip being too small to read
Fixed the "trade now available" guide popping up again every day
Fixed the empty cups storage no longer being used
Fixed the cup returning glitch
Fixed some furniture not being collected
Fixed the collect orders issue reported on Discord
Fixed levelling up right after finishing a coffee blocking that order from completing properly
Fixed footstep sounds playing while walking around in the pause menu and settings
Fixed stackable items not placing on a table when a wall collider was next to it
Fixed large floor items such as big plants rendering on top of tables after saving and loading
Fixed the "not available in this area" tooltip in build mode
Fixed the glitching effect on decor items when filters are applied
Steam Deck: fixed the save slot issue with controller, controller input dropping while using the coffee tools, and the remaining reported Deck issues
Performance: build mode no longer refreshes every item each frame, plus optimization passes on river floating items, terrace creature spawning and heavily decorated cafés
Miscellaneous minor bug and UI fixes
